AFFA SCREENING @ MELBOURNE SPRING FASHION WEEK

A new event has been added to the AFFA 2016 calendar, with a public screening to be held on Monday 29th August at ACMI (The Australian Centre for the Moving Image). The screening event is part of the Melbourne Spring Fashion Week (MSFW) program which runs from August 26th to September 2nd.

The event gives fashion and film lovers an opportunity to see films from both Australian and International brands. After the screening the public will be invited to vote for their favourite for the People’s Choice Award.
